In this guide, you will find instructions about copying files from OneDrive to SharePoint .

Copying files from OneDrive SharePoint may be needed in a variety of working situations where the materials must be moved into a shared workspace from a personal cloud room. Below are some typical uses where this activity is relevant:

1. Teamwork and collaborative projects
   If the files have so far been in one employee's personal OneDrive, but the project is moving forward to a teamwork phase, it is wise to copy them to SharePoint, where the whole team can access, comment and change them together.
2. Shared documents of the department or organization
   If documents need to be shared more broadly, such as the entire department or at the organization level, SharePoint offers better access and rights management than OneDrive.
3. Archiving or preserving files
   SharePoint sites may be structured for long-term storage and archiving. Once the project is completed, it may be necessary to copy files from OneDrive to SharePoint to be available in the future.
